I’ve posted three examples of Flowgrams my students have created as part of their studying the U.S. Bill of Rights (and similar documents from other countries). In their short presentations they highlighted what they felt were the most important human rights.

The Edublog Awards, for those who aren’t familiar with them, are annual awards for education-related blogs. One category is for “class blogs” written by students.
I nominated our Student Showcase blog for the category, though don’t know if it will make it into the the list of finalists. I think it’s pretty unique.

Hello everyone!
I’ve just posted a voicethread project by my students in a class called Interest-based English: Music on the Student Showcase blog. The topic is music genres. I hope you’ll take a look and add your comments. If possbile, it’d be great if you could have your students watch the presentation and add their questions and comments too.
Cheers!

Teachers and students from a variety of countries around the world are taking part in a sister classes’ project. This was started in 2008 with a group from Kuwait, the U.S.A., Romania, Hungary, Argentina, Venezuela and Brazil. Since then, it has expanded to include people from other countries, e.g. Spain, Mexico and Russia.
Students are able to display their work online in the Student showcase blog. Short movies, paragraphs, voice threads, flowgrams and more are displayed there. Then anyone can post comments on their work and/or take part in student forums.
The project aims to develop the students’ knowledge of other countries and cultures, and their writing and computing skills. Teachers taking part in the project also develop their computing skills. It is an interesting way to show everyone we are all part of the global village.

This is our student blog. You can subscribe using an RSS reader for the posts here If you don’t use an RSS feeder, you can subscribe to the posts by email, but have to go to the blog to do it. You’ll see info on the right side. However, you can’t subscribe to the Student Forum comments, so I would suggest that once a class has left comments there, teachers let the rest of us know. This is our teacher’s blog. You can subscribe using an RSS reader for the posts here. |
